Description
Fractured Light: Johnnie Cooper's Collages 1992-1997 is a significant body of work by British artist Johnnie Cooper, marking his transition from sculptor to painter. Created in the early 1990s, these collages showcase Cooper's experimentation with paint and paper, drawing inspiration from earlier assemblage works. The artworks on display were influenced by Cooper's new studio in rural Worcestershire, where he became fascinated with the changing light and colours of the surrounding woodland. This book provides an important insight into Cooper's oeuvre, making it a valuable resource for those interested in British Expressionism or abstract art. Published in 2020, Fractured Light accompanies an exhibition of the same name at Kendrew Barn Gallery, Oxford University, and follows Johnnie Cooper: Sunset Strip, a major monograph on the artist published by Black Dog Press in 2019.
